The Invincibles

[Leaky Blinder]

As a former Jags man I applauded as the former  Blues icons were rolled out but I looked around at the North stand and saw little genuine recall. Perhaps in the main stand there was more kudos. Am I just an old ****? 

[IBM]

No there was plenty applause from the North stand and I include the Jeggies round about me where we always have a good bit of banter about our old teams  but are united with ICT.

[Leaky Blinder]

Fair play IBM .. did I note a boo for King Billy though ..?  if so suits you sir for jumping ship to govan back in the day .. 

[old caley girl]

Seemed to be plenty clapping to me? However would have been nicer if they'd walked them round to the North stand imho. It felt like a main stand event only?

Did hear a boo...lol 

What a team that was!!

I took the reunion picture below of my dad John Stewart (Vice President in season 82/83) with Peter Corbett and Ray Mackintosh.

Important to not forget the history of the origins of our club. Both were iconic to Inverness football history.

Pity the merger was poorly handled and the negative aspects still remain. 

Still think we should have club colours that are unique to ICT and not the harking back to Caley and Thistle colours. 

Heard it said before (can't remember who or where tbh) that the likes of Fiorentina colours (purple ish and silver) would be good.

It’s good that 40 years later, they were able to reunite the vast majority of that team. The only first team regular I can recall who isn’t there is Robbie Baxter, one of my favourite players of that era.

Was Les Fridge the back up goalie then? I was very young back then lol.

[Yngwie]

Don’t think so, he was 14 that season and was with Thistle.

Canyon was the second team goalie then.

Even canyon would only have been 15 or 16 in 1982. Was in my year at the High School along with Billy Skinner and a few others who were great footballers.

He looks in good health. Is he still getting to the home games?

I believe Derek Dewar was also a regular in this team back in the day. I saw somewhere that he was unable to attend the reunion and nobody could track down Robbie Baxter. 

Happy memories watching that team when I was a young buck .

He’s only managed a few games this season but is still an avid armchair supporter and season ticket holder.

Unfortunately Derek Dewar does not keep well nowadays. Good player and great guy.

Was Derek Dewar a PE teacher at Culloden academy?
